Christopher, I can’t argue with your vision and that it’s the right way to proceed. I can’t help but feel it’s a bit of a “Boil The Ocean” project. Not so different from the many ERP implementations I’ve been involved with around the edges. Your vision calls for vast amounts of money and consistent management focus. In my experience, that rarely happens. Top Management often has a short attention span and unless the effort is driven by the CEO and he/she considers it a corporate necessity for survival, these efforts rarely achieve the lofty visions.
I hope companies and the many people they employ can achieve your vision. Anything to help them do that is a win.
As one who is quite leery about AI, I want to offer an unusual statement. I took in the WWDC Apple event yesterday. Everyone is quacking about how Apple has blown it. I hear people saying Apple has finally blown it for good. Balderdash.
My opinion is that Apple is implementing AI in a manner I find comforting and it's another indicator of why I use Apple. Their AI will probably be safe to use and built into the way I work on my computer. They are talking about AI use with strong privacy controls, and that's what I want. I think that, as usual, they are doing it much better than almost anyone.
It's interesting you bring up the Apple report that came out. I'm talking about it in my podcast that I'll drop later this week.
I'm digging through it now, and I don't think it will pour as much water on the industry as some are projecting but not because what it has to say isn't accurate.
People are already so "hooked" on the promises of AI that many don't want to hear it can't deliver on those promises. They've already mortgaged the farm and are now feeling like they need it to work out or go bankrupt.
Like you, I've actually held a lot of respect for how Apple has approached AI despite all the heat they've taken. I think they are one of the few companies that won't get burned at the roulette table.
That's been their modus operandi since Jobs came back. They wait until they understand what is going and then blow the paradigm apart—like with iPhone. The best they had going then was the iPod. Cook is no Jobs. But, his people are good and doing well.

Yeah, it's the Wild West right now, and with all the economic and job uncertainty, people are desperate to do anything and call it progress.
I find a lot of peace in slowing down and focusing on what's within my control but even that feels overwhelming at times.
